Chapter 22 The end of life
The previous assassination was already clear. In the face of his ridiculous proposal, the man in black just refused with a consistent indifferent attitude. And the middle-aged man who likes to be smart made a few more explanations at this time, "Instead of killing Xiong Heng and letting his son ascend to the throne, it is better to let this faint king, who only knows how to stay in sex, continue the century-old foundation of the State of Chu."
The questioner no longer made a sound. Qiu Yao felt a tingling in her heart, and then felt that the car body tilted up. The road below was obviously more bumpy than before. It could be seen that they were marching towards the mountain. The sky was getting dark, and the person walking in front of her suddenly made a sound.
"Deputy Commander, where is the cooking smoke?"
"That's still according to the old rules." The answer is still the middle-aged man. Qiu Yao in the car couldn't help curling her lips. This guy was really self-righteous. If his deputy commander was less energetic, he wouldn't know how many times he had died.
Wait, they said... the old rules? Do you have to use the old rules when you see a private house? Qiu Yao couldn't help thinking of the house she was just living in. It was obviously a private house, but there were obviously no ordinary people living there. Could it be...
Qiu Yao suddenly fell into the ice cellar. A coolness spread from the heart to the limbs and bones. These Qin people are really inhumane villains! She must not see any more innocent mountain people killed by these demons.
The mountain road is difficult to walk. When the group came to the place where the cooking smoke was, the sunset was approaching the horizon, and the night was coming. The crimson remnant sun took away the afterglow, as if all the blood had been given to the sharp blade, and a massacre was about to be staged.
The bamboo fence surrounds the courtyard, and the masonry is made of houses. The only private house on the mountainside does not look very simple. When the party came to the door, an old man in brown and thick clothes and white hair came out.
The middle-aged man was about to take action, but the man in black came forward to stop him.
"We are the barren who come to collect firewood in the mountains. We don't want to get lost in the mountains. We follow the cooking smoke to come here. I hope the old man can take me in and wait for one night."
"Grandpa, who's coming?" Listening to the voice, the speaker should be a young girl.
"This is my granddaughter. Sancho Sanli took the guest's horse and car to the backyard, and then picked up the back rooms.
Several people behind the man in black looked at each other and frowned to see the girl take the horse away, while the teenager pushed the car away.
"You have worked very hard for a day. I just made the meal. Please don't dislike this mountain dish."
Got the approval of the man in black, and several people followed the old man into the house one after another.
On the other side, Qiu Yao was pushed to the back of the yard. She wanted to remind the brother and sister, but she was afraid that her sudden appearance would make the two people exclaim. Once she shocked several people in the room, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Qiu Yao hesitated, and the brother and sister had already left the backyard. Looking at the completely dark god, he tried his best to think about how to save himself and the old man's family.
As time passed, Qiu Yao clearly heard the movement in the room. The long period of stiff sleep made her feel a little uncomfortable. She moved, and she felt that there seemed to be something under her body.
Qiu Yao boldly reached out and leaned behind her back, but immediately withdrew her hand when her fingers touched the cold metal.
The weapon is on the car, which does not mean that these people are not hiding their weapons. Qiu Yao pinched a handful of cold sweat, shook hands, and carefully gently pushed away the firewood changed to her body. When she got out of the car, she did not notice the tilt of the car body and almost made a sound. When she quickly held the body, her forehead was already It's cold sweat.
The refreshing smell of wine came to her nose. Qiu Yao was even more uneasy. She went to the tree and untied the rope that tied the white horse. Qiu Yao poked its nose and cursed in her heart, "You are a strange guy."
Holding the horse, the horse was very cooperatively lightened, and Qiu Yao was very satisfied with this. It seems that this little guy has been following here all the way, perhaps for himself. Thinking of this, Qiu Yao couldn't help kissing her beautiful little head.
The next question is, how should she remind those innocent mountain people?
She could escape alone, but it was never her style to see death. She gently patted the horse's head and let it stay in place. Qiu Yao took a breath and walked to the car and pulled out a big knife about ten catties from it. She almost fell to the ground. At this time, the sound of the sword coming out of its sheath suddenly came from the room. Qiu Yao was shocked and lamented that she was a step late after all,
Well, she is not like denying that she is not going to rush in and fight. She is not so immeasured. She wasted her time in this backyard alone, just to excuse her conscience - she was unable to save the three grandchildren.
Qiu Yao suddenly wanted to cry. For her despicability and cowardice, she silently put the knife back in place, covered her mouth and squatted down, but she couldn't cry. She watched others in danger, but she didn't even have the courage to come forward.
It may be too late for her to escape at this time, but she instinctively wants to stay here and wait for fate to indifferently sanction her.
Just as Qiu Yao was desperate, a crisp whistle suddenly came to her ear. Then she saw the white horse spread its weight and run away. Qiu Yao rubbed her eyes, walked forward unsteadily, and then stood in place dumbfoundedly.
Isn't the man standing outside the house stroking the white horse with a smile on his face the old man in rough clothes but quite fairy bones?
Qiu Yao suddenly thought of the old man who called himself a great god in the dream, and felt that the mortal in front of her was more immortal than that one.
The old man waved to Qiu Yao, who was stunned in place. Qiu Yao walked to the horse with stiff limbs and hands and feet. The pig's head and pig asked, "Is this your horse?"
The old man nodded and asked kindly, "Can you tell me where the horse came from?"
Qiu Yao settled down, looked at the obedient white horse beside her, took off her guard, and told the old man that she rescued Wang Sui and was taken here by the Qin people. The old man heard that Wang Sui was seriously injured and lay on the end of ** who could not move, and his eyebrows suddenly became a little more solemn.
"Does the teenager have a piece of cloth folded into a square?"
"The old man is talking about that map? He has always been by his side. Qiu Yao didn't feel that her eyes lit up.
"That's good," the old man nodded slightly, and the brother and sister came out of the room.
"Master, those people have been dealt with." The teenager walking in front of him said loudly.
Master? Qiu Yao looked at the people in front of her doubtfully.
"The girl's surname is Wang's name, and what the girl saved was the disciple Mao Sui. I lived in Xiling outside Yancheng for a long time, but I came to Yunmeng Mountain to collect medicine in July and December every year. As soon as those people came, they recognized the horse.
Mao Sui? Qiu Yao couldn't help but be excited. Is she the lifesaver of Pingyuan Jun's famous doorman Mao Sui? It's just that the name Wang Shu seems to be a little familiar.
"So you can see that there are people hidden in the car?"
The old man smiled and nodded. Qiu Yao instantly remembered the identity of the owner of the name, and only felt that there were thousands of flowers in her heart~
"Are you... Mr. Guiguzi?!" She is so lucky that the master of the legendary vertical and horizontal art, the master of Zhang Yi and Su Qin, who is famous for his volume of "Liu Tao" in later generations, met her!!!
Looking at the smiling old man, what Qiu Yao wants to do most now is to turn around. She bows to the sky three times, and then turns around and speaks impassionedly - "Mr. Guiguzi, please sign for me!!!"
"Do you think this is Yunmeng Mountain?" Qiu Yao took a deep breath and felt that every cell on her body was excited.
"This is not Yunmeng Mountain."
Qiu Yao was a little disappointed when she heard the words, "Then how can I get to Yunmeng Mountain from here?"
"To Yunmeng Mountain, it takes a day and a night to get there. But I happen to have a shortcut here. The girl will eat something with me for a night. I'll ask Sang Li to lead the way for you tomorrow morning. The girl can arrive at Yunmeng before dark.
Qiu Yao was very grateful. After thanking him again and again, she turned to the white horse beside her and stopped talking. Wang Shu was satisfed and smiled, "This horse is quite related to the girl. The girl can regard it as a reward for saving Sui'er."
"You mean this horse gave it to me?" Qiu Yao was abhorred, how can he know whether it is a blessing~~~
"This horse is called a horse. Although it is young, when it grows up, it must be a good foal that can travel thousands of miles a day." Wang Xuan's statement was no same as that of the fake brother. Qiu Yao was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
"From now on, I'll call you Xiaobai~" Qiu Yao touched the horse's head happily, but the girl watching couldn't help laughing.
"This name is really good~"
Qiu Yao smiled proudly, and then patted Xiaobai's head and let him go to the backyard to rest. She followed the three masters and apprentices into the room for a hundred years.
In the morning of the next day, when it was still dawn, Qiu Yao said goodbye to Gui Guzi and went on the road. The person who led the way was the teenager named Sang Li. Qiu Yao knew that the two were real brothers and sisters until she asked. Then she thought of adding the little ghost who always bullied her, and she couldn't help but feel sad.
At noon, the two happened to come to a dense forest. Qiu Yao got off her horse and was full, only to find a sheep intestine path in the dense forest that could only be passed by one person.
"This is the path opened by the teacher who has been collecting medicine all year round." Sang Li jumped off the horse and let the two horses go to eat grass by themselves.
"Awesome." Qiu Yao looked at the path where she couldn't see her head at a glance.
"Girl, let's take a rest here now. Walking out of the dense forest along this road is Yunmeng Mountain." Sancho led Qiu Yao to a smooth stone at the entrance of the dense forest, and then ran to the depths of the dense forest.
Qiu Yao did not sit down in science, but stood aside and looked at the green mountains around her. Before leaving, Guiguzi once pointed out to her that the forehead peak hidden in the smoke was Yunmeng Mountain. Through this dense forest, she could reach the cloud-steamed and dreamy mountain, Yunmeng Mountain. This scene is so familiar to you and her, but she can guarantee that she has been to this place in the future before.
So where does this familiarity come from? It seems that in the middle of the midnight dream, she has come thousands of times.
The sunset palace is for the pavilion, and the cloud dream sends fireworks at the beginning of the year.
The prince of Lantai is proud of Tang, and the picture must be so beautiful that it will be unforgettable for life. Qiu Yao was fascinated, but she felt a little scared. Looking back on the poems she had learned in the past, Song Yu was so sad that she asked him how sad she was. There were many storms and storms on the Double Ninth Festival.
Just as Qiu Yao was distracted, Sang Li came to the dense forest and put the wild fruit on the flat stone. Sang Li saw Qiu Yao looking at Yunmeng Mountain not far away.
"Thank you, girl."
Qiu Yao turned her head and happened to see the mouth-watering pile of cute melons and fruits. The summer heat in July has not subsided, and Qiu Yao has been on the road for a long time. Qiu Yao can't afford to be reserved. She squatted by the stone while eating fruit and drinking Sangli.
"When will you go back to Yancheng?"
"Tonight."
"In this case, please bother Sang Li to help my Xie family in the east of Qiuyao City to report safety for me. Just say that I will return home as soon as possible. Your brother should also be recovering at my house." Although that family is not humane, at least it is her nominal home in this era.
Sang Li answered. At the end of the short meal, the two of them got on horse one after another and walked through the dense forest one after the other. When they walked out of the dense forest, there was an endless green grassland like smoke, and Qiu Yao's mood also became cheerful.
"After going down the mountain along that road, you can go west for a few miles to reach the Orchid Palace." After pointing the way, Sang Li re-dried into the dense forest.
